Milking a Cow

"Rough Road"

The road by my house was in bad condition after
a rough winter. Every day I dodged potholes on
the way to work, so I was relieved to see a construction
crew working on the road one morning.

Later, on my way home, I noticed no improvement.
But where the crew had been working stood a
new, bright-yellow sign with the words

"Rough Road."

"Milking a Cow"

After much urging by his wife, my Uncle Joe applied
for work on a farm. The foreman decided to give
him a try and told him to milk a cow, equipping
him with a stool and a bucket.

An hour later Uncle Joe returned dirty and sweaty,
the bucket in one hand and the broken stool in the other.

"Extracting the milk was easy," he explained. "The
worst part was getting the cow to sit on the stool!"
